    Welcome from Ashland, VA. I have a King Industrial saw and have been very pleased with it.

    Ok, thanks for the info. I'll keep searching for this particular pattern. Have found other praying hands clock patterns but have not came across this one yet. Thanks again

    just wondering where you got the pattern for this praying hands clock? Would like to make a couple of them my self. Thanks, Richard

    Barbara, The baskets are pretty easy to do once you make the first one and a good way to practice your techniques with both straight and curved lines. Like others have mentioned Steve Good has many patterns available that really look nice when completed. I cut most of mine out of 3/8" and 1/2" baltic birch and have even done a few out of red oak though they take a bit longer because of going slower but they do turn out nice. Give them a try and I'm sure you will enjoy making them. Also Ray, that is a beautiful basket that you posted, great job! Richard "Poppy's Wood Works"

    looks great Pete! I have done the same thing with many of my tools such as the planner, table saw, bandsaws, lathe and scroll saw. Just wheel them outside on the deck and use and then back inside the shop when finished with all the mess staying outside. You did a great job!

    A few months back I asked for suggestions on a new scroll saw. Well after much research I finally bit the bullet and purchased the King Industrial 16" scroll saw. I know many would say the 16" model is to small but it works well in my small shop and fits on the same stand perfectly that I had the old saw on. Wow!! what a difference going from my old Ryobi to this new saw. So much smoother, quieter and a joy to use. Thanks again to everyone for the information and suggestions that you all provided.

    I have the Triton OSS from woodcraft (no belt, just the spindle) and it works very nice. Have had it for years and never any issues with it at all.

    Thanks Bob, I'll take a look at this saw also. Still have not made a purchase yet but probably will in the next month. Also where did you purchase your Wen saw from?

    Ok, thanks for the information everyone, was just curious as I had never heard of them. Thanks again Richard

    Just watched a video about the Axminster scroll saws and was just wondering if anyone had any knowledge or information about them? They looked a lot like the Pegas saw and even come with the Pegas blade chucks on them.

    Just read in one of your responses that you have the King Industrial 16" scroll saw. Am thinking seriously about getting one and was just wondering your thoughts on it and how you liked it?

    Thanks a bunch,

      I do like the King which is really, the same as the Old Taiwan made Excalibur.  If you have a few more inches of space to store it, and a few more dollars, I would probably spring for the Pegas which comes with the better clamps, and better table coating (in theory), and supposed to have beefed up a few of the internal components.  Both are still basically coming from the same factory in Taiwan, but I think the Pegas flavor is the current front runner of all the Taiwan EX style saws.

      Ok, thanks a bunch for the information.  I'll just have to decide but either way will be a big upgrade from my old worn out Ryobi saw.

      Thanks again and have a good weekend.

    Thanks everyone for the information provided. At this point I am pretty sure (99%) that I will be ordering the 16" King Canada saw. Due to the tilting head and the smaller footprint of the saw it will work better in my small shop and do everything that I need it to do. Thanks again, Richard "Poppy's Workshop"

    In the market to upgrade from my old Ryobi scroll saw after years of use. Any recommendations for a new saw? Have been researching the Dewalt 788 and the King Industrial 16" model. Any information on either of these or any other models would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch, Richard "Poppy's Workshop"
